Twenty three local Townsville church leaders came together at YWAM Townsville this week to strategise and plan for one of the community’s greatest local events.
Stable on the Strand is an annual event now running for 12 years. The event transforms Townsville’s ocean front area, Strand Park, into the city of Bethlehem where the Christmas story is brought to life through music, plays, activities, dances, live animals, and of course baby Jesus.
Volunteers from more than 50 churches give the gift of celebration and share the true meaning of Christmas to as many as 40,000 people each year.
The breakfast aimed to build the vision among key stakeholders in local churches as planning for the 2014 events begin.
YWAM leader, Netani Bolatolu, attended the breakfast and said, “It’s really good to see church leaders in the city already preparing for such a big event. Christmas is such a special time of year, and we’re looking forward to being a part of the events.”
“One of our goals is to help strengthen and develop our local community through the growth of local events, and we see Stable on the Strand as a really key part of that,” Bolatolu said.
